Photoshop 2025 - Bad Unit rulers in inches can't see the #s and the increments

Photoshop 2025 - Bad Unit rulers in inches can't see the #s and the increments when changing the Interface color in prefernces. Terrible for printing and lining things up.  Also everytime I select a color it adds it to my swatches pallet I don't want this. I only want swatches to be added if I click New Swatch. I should not have to create a Group and name it. It used to be that if a color is added to the swatch pallet it is done by me when I hit new swatch and then I named it. Now every time I select new color its a swatch automatically terrible.

 

FIX THE UNITS IN RULER - LINES ARE UNREADABLE AT ANY INTERFACE COLOR.  ALLOW USERS TO INCREASE THE FONT DISPLAY SIZE OF THE RULER NUMBERS.

What size monitor (physical size and pixel size) are you using?  I have no issue with the ruler in inches here but it may be monitor dependant.

    I cannot reproduce the issue (Adobe Photoshop 26.8.1 on Mac OS 14.6.1). 

    Please post the requestes screenshots to clarify.

    What version of Photoshop and macOS are you using?

     

     

    The colors added when you select a color are added to the top underneath Search Swatches as in the below screenshot?

     

     

    If so, you can turn that off from the Swatches panel flyout menu by unchecking Show Recents

     

     

     

     

    As far as the Rulers, can you post a screenshot(s) of what your seeing?
